Welcome to the First Amendment and free speech, which is apparently what these "bitch ass" kids know all about. You may not like the message, but that doesn't give them any less right to spout it off. If they're citizens, they certainly have earned "the right to open their mouths". You're presupposing that none of these kids are US citizens, which almost certainly NOT the case. Citizens and legal residents have every right to make this kind of statement, just like you have every right to be offended by it.


Diminishing their rights diminishes yours at the same time.
